Which one is right for you?
Pick the MSZ-GX18NL if
- it's a garage, bedroom or single room and you want the simplest install
- you don't have attic or ceiling access above the room
- efficiency matters most: up to 22.5 SEER2 vs 17.2
Hangs high on an outside wall; the refrigerant lines leave through one small hole behind the unit.
Pick the MLZ-KX18NL if
- a wall unit would stand out and you want a slim unit flush with the ceiling
- you'd rather nothing hang on the wall
- you want heating capacity held through a hard freeze (hyper-heat)
Sits in the ceiling between joists, so it needs attic or ceiling access above the room.
